When someone enters old age, symptoms such as senility or difficulty remembering new information often appear. This condition is known as dementia, a syndrome characterized by decreased cognitive function, behavioral changes, memory impairment, disorientation, and difficulty communicating and making decisions. This community service program aims to provide information and understanding about how to handle dementia that can be done at home. Activities are carried out through a counseling method consisting of a pre-test, education, and post-test, using leaflets and questionnaires containing questions to measure the level of understanding of participants. The results of the counseling showed an increase in participant knowledge, as seen from the comparison of the graph between the pre-test and post-test results. Education accompanied by brain gymnastics practices has been shown to have a positive impact on increasing participants' understanding of dementia and how to handle it. It is hoped that this counseling will continue to provide benefits to participants and can be applied in everyday life.

One of the microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus is diabetic retinopathy. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Central Java Province in 2022 by 10% increased to 12.52% in the third quarter of 2023. This prevalence rate has not reached the SDG's target, namely there is no increase in diabetes prevalence by 0%. The purpose of this study is to analyze factors associated the incidence of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 DM patients at Central Java Provincial Hospital in 2023. This research is quantitative research with a nested case control study design, using electronic medical record data from the Central Java Provincial Hospital in 2023. The variables in this study were gender, age, education level, employment status, marital status, health insurance status, BMI, DM diet, duration of DM, hypertension, other diseases, current blood glucose, and HbA1c. The analysis used was univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis (logistic regression). The results showed that there was association between age ?70 years (p=0.006), DM diet (p<0.0001, OR=20.914), duration of DM (p=0.003, OR=3.010), hypertension (p=0.013, OR=2.619), other diseases including cataracts (p=0.040, OR=9.00), glaucoma (p=0.007), CHD (p=0.040, OR=9.00), and cardiomegaly (p=0.016), current blood glucose (p=0.045, OR=2.478), and HbA1c (p<0.0001, OR=6.152). DM diet is the most dominant factor associated with diabetic retinopathy in type 2 DM patients. 

Limitated of infrastructure is one of the issues affecting the continuity of education in Indonesia. The unequal distribution of facilities in schools undoubtedly makes the learning process less effective and impacts students' learning outcomes. This is particularly evident in physical education, sports, and health lessons, which require equipment for the learning process. The lack of equipment prevents the expansion of sports education and the introduction of other sports as part of the curriculum. One example is handball, which is rarely taught in schools due to the lack of balls. As a result, some schools resort to using other balls, such as volleyballs, to teach handball. Using a volleyball in handball lessons is ineffective, especially when it comes to shooting. This issue led the researcher to consider modifying the handball with a rubber ball, which is easy to find and resembles the size of a real handball. The researcher then implemented this modification in a two-cycle action research study. The results from the pre-cycle assessment showed that only 2 out of 35 students passed the shooting test. In terms of percentage, this means only about 6% of the students were able to shoot well. Following this, the researcher took action in the first cycle, and 19 students passed, about 54% of the sample. Since the results were still considered suboptimal, the researcher proceeded with the second cycle, where 32 students passed, around 91% of the sample.

(2) What is the problem-solving model for procurement of goods and services at universities? This research utilizes a qualitative approach, with a sociological juridical research method, or non-doctrinal research.

Banners are a simple yet highly effective promotional strategy for MSMEs. With attractive designs and strategic placement, banners can increase business visibility and attract more customers, thus contributing to local economic growth. The installation of banners as a promotional strategy for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) has been proven effective in increasing product visibility and sales. The discussion in this Community Service activity report describes the activities to promote MSMEs that take place in the Sepinggan Baru village. So, to support these activities, visual media is needed that can help optimize the promotion of MSMEs by installing banners. Banners are designed in various sizes that can be attached to MSMEs, so that villagers who have MSMEs can easily place the position of the banners to be installed. KKN students of Sepinggan Baru Village who are banner instructors and help install banners and RT.17 community members are very enthusiastic and grateful for the banners we provide, because it makes it easier for them to promote their businesses. The results of this activity show that the objectives of the activity were carried out well and the residents of RT.17 Village Sepinggan Baru who have MSMEs were very appreciative.

Sektor pariwisata memegang peranan penting dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi negara-negara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Namun, metode promosi tradisional mungkin tidak lagi memadai untuk menarik pengunjung di era digital. Penelitian ini menyelidiki penerapan teknologi Virtual Reality (VR) yang terintegrasi dengan sistem treadmill untuk mempromosikan Balekemambang, destinasi wisata di Purwokerto, Jawa Tengah. Dengan menggabungkan sistem berbasis Raspberry Pi dan video 360 derajat Balekemambang, pengalaman VR memungkinkan pengguna menjelajahi situs secara virtual sambil berjalan di atas treadmill, mensimulasikan kunjungan di dunia nyata. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi efektivitas sistem ini dalam meningkatkan pengalaman imersif dan pengaruhnya terhadap minat wisatawan. Peserta diminta untuk mencoba sistem VR dan kemudian mengisi kuesioner untuk mengukur berbagai faktor, termasuk keterlibatan emosional, minat terhadap destinasi, dan kemungkinan berkunjung. Model regresi logistik mengungkapkan hasil yang signifikan, dengan tingkat akurasi 100%, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh matriks kebingungan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman VR yang imersif dapat memengaruhi minat wisatawan secara signifikan, menjadikan VR sebagai alat yang ampuh untuk mempromosikan pariwisata.

This study aims to develop an intuitive and efficient smart home control system by utilizing hand tracking and speech recognition technologies. These technologies employ the OpenCV, Mediapipe, PyAudio, and Speech Recognition libraries to recognize hand gestures and voice commands in real-time. The system is developed using a Raspberry Pi connected to a webcam and microphone as input devices, and a relay to control electronic appliances. The results show a high accuracy rate at optimal light intensity for hand tracking and a specific distance for speech recognition. This system is implemented in an IoT environment to control devices such as lights and door locks. The research is expected to contribute to the development of smarter and more user-friendly smart homes.
